A case of too many books. About half of the 500,000 items in Wellington's central library on-site collection will be kept in storage when the building reopens to make way for a play space, events room and service centre. Georgina also talks to Kathryn about the 445 million dollar, 13 kilometre road forming part of Wellington's northern corridor. Will the new Peka Peka to Ōtaki expressway open before Christmas?
